Tillandsia capitata “Peach”

Tillandsia capitata “Peach” – tropical highlight for terrarium and home

The Tillandsia capitata “Peach” is a true beauty among the air plants and impresses with its extraordinary coloration. It originates from the tropical regions of Central America, where it grows on trees or rocks and feeds on the high humidity. Its special feature lies in its leaves, which develop a delicate peach hue when well cared for – a spectacular eye-catcher for any terrarium or decorative plant holder.

As an epiphytic plant, the Tillandsia capitata “Peach” no substrate. It absorbs water and nutrients exclusively through its leaves. This makes it ideal for creative designs in terrariums, showcases or modern living spaces. It harmonizes particularly well with natural materials such as wood, bark or stones, creating a lively and exotic impression.

Keeping it is uncomplicated: A bright location with indirect light and an illumination of approx. 1,000-2,000 lumens is ideal. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it could burn the fine leaves. Regular spraying with low-lime water or brief watering every few days provides the necessary moisture. As the plant originates from tropical regions, it feels particularly at home at a humidity of 60-80 % – perfect for rainforest terrariums.

With a size of around 10 to 20 cm, the Tillandsia capitata “Peach” compact, but its elegant growth habit makes it very present. It reveals its full beauty especially during the flowering period, when the leaves change color intensively and a strong color contrast is created. It is therefore not only a decorative element, but also a highlight that underlines the tropical character of any arrangement.

If you are looking for an easy-care, exotic and unusual plant, the Tillandsia capitata “Peach” a faithful companion that adds a touch of the tropics without much effort.
